Another dystopian series and although this one isn't big just yet, I think it has the power to play with the big boys in the dystopian genre. Told through a few characters points of view, this one centers around the Sector and the Resistance that has broken off from it. Remy is part of the Resistance and has been ever since her family suffered a tragedy while her sister was at the Academy. The Resistance was created due to a group that disagrees with the genetically modified foods that are fed to different parts of the society to change them physically, emotionally and intellectually.

This book was so easy to get into and the worlds were easy to understand. As both Remy and Vale share the story, it helped show the difference between the two societies and I appreciated hearing parts of the story overlap in both of their points of view. The other thing that I loved was the reason the Resistance broke off - genetically modifying food. This seemed unique and different and made for a perfect plot point.
